How do you get a bicycle to get smarter? Well, simply hook on a smartphone to it and have the bike and the phone lock up in a symbiotic relationship! At least that’s what Ford thought of while hooking on a Samsung Galaxy S II to its shiny new E-Bike. A concept for now, the bike is a unisex mode to transport, made for both the genders and includes some pretty striking designing techniques including a well hidden motor and battery pack. With the motor packed in the front axle and the battery stowed away in the body frame, the bike looks like a regular pedal-pusher to the onlooker, given that it also sports a pair of pedals for manual modes. Going up to speeds of 25 kilometers/hour with an 85 kilometer range on a single charge, the E-Bike weighs in at 2.5kgs and uses the smartphone as an interface between the rider and the bike!
